Preheat Fan Forced Over to 150 degrees.
Space out your eco-friendly, unbleached cupcake liners on a baking tray.
In a glass or stainless steel bowl, mix together with a stainless steel hand-whisk or fork, all the dry ingredients.
In a separate glass/stainless steel bowl combine well all the wet ingredients with the exception of the cooked quinoa.
Next combine wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well for a couple minutes with a wooden or stainless steel spoon.
Once the batter is smooth add in the cooked quinoa. Stir in lightly to distribute the grains evenly through the cupcake batter.
Spoon a couple soup spoonfuls into each cupcake pan and bake for 30-15 mins.
Allow to cook on a wire rack.
Once cool, store in a safe, plastic, polypropylene or glass Pyrex container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
